{"product_id":"maroons-in-guyane-richard-price-9780820362458","title":"Maroons in Guyane: Past, Present, Future","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor more than four centuries, communities of maroons (men and women who escaped slavery) dotted the fringes of plantation America, from Brazil through the Caribbean to the United States. Today their descendants still form semi-independent enclaves--in Jamaica, Brazil, Colombia, Belize, Suriname, Guyane, and elsewhere--remaining proud of their maroon origins and, in some cases, faithful to unique cultural traditions forged during the earliest days of Afro-American history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 1986, expelled by the military regime of Suriname, anthropologists Richard and Sally Price turned to neighboring Guyane (French Guiana), where thousands of Maroons were taking refuge from the Suriname civil war. Over the next fifteen years, their conversations with local people convinced them of the need to replace the pervasive stereotypes about Maroons in Guyane with accurate information. In 2003, \u003ci\u003e Les Marrons\u003c\/i\u003e became a local best seller. In 2020, after a series of further visits, the Prices wrote a new edition taking into account the many rapid changes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAvailable for the first time in English, \u003ci\u003eMaroons in Guyane\u003c\/i\u003e reviews the history of Maroon peoples in Guyane, explains how these groups differ from one another, and analyzes their current situations in the bustling, multicultural world of this far-flung outpost of the French Republic. A gallery of the magnificent arts of the Maroons completes the volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Price, Sally Price\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 082036245X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820362458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Richard Price","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075435000063,"sku":"9780820362458","price":120.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e7002dcd-c3e8-4143-8c38-b99faf446f44.jpg?v=1685459403","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/maroons-in-guyane-richard-price-9780820362458","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
